"Holy Shit!"
I'm pretty sure that "Holy Shit!" was originally named "Holy Shit!" when the demo leaked. The way I understand it is that Tom had different names for the songs that leaked, but as sort of a 'Fuck You' for leaking them, he used the names that fans gave them. Thus why all the leaked tracks are short titles taken from the fan titles, with the exception of the supposed "Oh Good God!" track. I never remember seeing a copy of this with the track called "Oh Good God!" personally. 24.22.165.55 (talk) 21:51, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Wording in lead
AarnKrry (talk · contribs) and I are in a content dispute concerning the last sentence in the lead. AarnKrry has reverted me 4 times now with such rationales as "Let the quote stand", "Exactly", and "No" (gee, how eloquent). I have asked AarnKrry to take the issue to the talk page, but they have flat-out refused, so I'm doing it instead. The dispute is over the following phrasing:
- AarnKrry's preferred phrasing: Frontman [[Tom Gabel]] has described ''Searching for a Former Clarity'' as a "[[concept album|concept record]]".
- My preferred phrasing: Frontman [[Tom Gabel]] has described ''Searching for a Former Clarity'' as a [[concept album]].
My rationale is simple: The quotes and piped link are unnecessary, and should be avoided where they are not needed. Quotes are for when the text in question must be maintained in its original form in order to preserve the intent or opinion of the speaker. That's no the case here. "Album" and "record" have the exact same meaning in the context of this sentence, so there's no need to quote it and pipe the link merely because Gabel said "record" rather than "album". We can simply paraphrase the 1 word and thus avoid the unnecessary quotes and unnecessary piped link. Quotation is not necessary to preserve the meaning of a single, common term. --IllaZilla (talk) 18:37, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
